Financial Planning for Corporate Executives​

Through employer-sponsored financial planning programs, AMG helps executives turn career success into financial success and peace of mind.

A WORKPLACE BENEFIT THAT WORKS​

Human resource innovators seek to enhance the employee experience and ensure that their companies are able to hire and retain the best talent. Yet executives often are too busy to look into understanding and taking advantage of the wealth creation opportunities these programs present.

Financial planning as a valued corporate benefit

Employer-sponsored financial planning programs can help bridge the gap, benefiting both employers and employees by:
  • Improving employee focus, productivity and wellbeing
  • Improving employee satisfaction and retention
  • Increasing knowledgeable participation rates in benefit programs
  • Helping human resource staff see the successful execution of company benefits and incentives for each unique executive

Senior executives need more than a financial wellness program

While financial wellness programs can provide valuable resources and education on basic financial topics for all employees, senior executives require a more specialized and comprehensive approach for several reasons:

  • Complex Compensation Packages: Senior executives often receive compensation packages that include various components such as base salary, bonuses, stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), deferred compensation, and performance-based incentives. Understanding and optimizing these components requires specialized knowledge.
  • Tax Complexity: Executives may need guidance on tax-efficient strategies for managing the timing of compensation, minimizing tax liabilities, and complying with tax laws and regulations.
  • Stock-Based Compensation: Monitoring and realizing the value of stock options or equity awards, including deciding when to exercise options or sell shares, involves a unique set of considerations.
  • Retirement Planning: Senior executives may be subject to limitations on contributions to retirement accounts and they may have supplemental executive retirement plans (SERPs) that require careful planning and consideration of tax consequences.
  • Risk Management: Executives may be exposed to risks related to their work roles and personal activities. Managing and mitigating these risks is crucial for the company as well as the executive.

Contact us at 800.999.2190 or email info@amgnational.com.

We’d be thrilled to add your company to our list of Fortune 1000 clients for whom we provide independent, unbiased financial counseling to key employees.

Once a company decides to partner with AMG, we gain a deep understanding of the company’s benefit programs. Typically, we review the summary plan documents (SPD), or equivalents, and meet with the individual or team who administers the executive compensation and benefits program. These steps help us develop and understanding of your plan specifics, informing the guidance of AMG professionals who will be working with your executives.

Once we have the names and contact details for eligible employees, either the company or AMG informs them of the financial planning benefit and how AMG can help them navigate and benefit from the program. Typically, the onboarding process takes just a few weeks and requires few company resources to administer.
